Just yet another nutcase "having fun" on Crystal Beach at the expense of others. Hallie tourists getting tanked up and stupid on our beach. We were there that day (every day, we live here), didn't see the plane but saw all you folks in jeeps later that day all parked in a huge group. Ya'll seemed cool. Most folks are friendly and cool, some people take their beach fun a bit too far. Or WAY too far, like this guy.
As a Certified Flight Instructor, aircraft owner, and pilot of almost a decade-- this is truly embarrassing for the pilot community. Most of us are professionals and uphold the highest standards of safety.
This pathetic excuse for a pilot will be torn to tiny pieces by the FAA, if it hasn't been done already. They will have no mercy, and take this kind of crap as seriously as it can be.
This plane was not crashing. This was his 10th pass coming at us. He was jacking with us the whole time. And the news showed a picture of the same plane after this incident.
This is going to come as a surprise, but stay with me...the passes weren't as dangerous as they looked. Flying low is not particularly difficult or dangerous, provided you're pretty much flying straight and level.
HOWEVER, it was completely illegal...and the pilot was insane for thinking that it wouldn't scare the heck out of the poor folks on the ground. On THAT basis, he should be busted...and hard.
Ugh, I share the sentiments of coma13794, If I could see the Registration number, I would report this myself. Most pilot take safety very seriously and will often exceed FAA minimums to ensure safety for those in the air and on the ground. Sorry you had the experience this!
On behalf of small aircraft pilots all over the country, I apologize for his behaviour. Every pilot I know that is aware of this issue agrees that there was no excuse for what he did. Had he remained at least 500ft offshore, he would've been legal. As it was, it was a total bust.
That pilot is an idiot.

Wrong plane, this plane was down in Texas, flying over Galveston. The plane you are thinking about happened in South Carolina

Not the same plane, PkerFate - that poor fellow had a different problem - mechanical. This pilot has a screw loose in his head.

I would like to see the original version of the footage, without the slow-mo, if the author would consider publishing a second clip.
